How to wake up sleepyheads-- Applesauce Oatmeal Muffins!

I have to give credit to Donna-FFW, from "My Tasty Treasures" for inspiring me to bake this recipe for my family. I made a few changes-- instead of a cake, I grabbed my giant muffin pan. I ended up doubling the batter, so make six muffins. It's a good thing that I did, because my husband and son were sniffing the air and getting very anxious to eat these treats.

I'm not kidding when I say that my husband was staring at me as I grabbed each muffin to put on the cooling rack. He waited a total of sixty seconds, before grabbing one and slathering on butter. Just the thought of photographing his prized muffin was met with a glare.

These are very good, and super easy to make. I posted my recipe version with a doubling of ingredients for the topping-- it was that good!

Oh my goodness. I would definitely get out of bed for these muffins (or eat them in bed, really). They look fabulous, just fabulous. Man, you've started a craving. You know how you couldn't get these little muffin cakes out of your head? I think you've passed along the obsession!

I just tried making these Applesauce Oatmeal muffins and doubled the recipe since yours says it's for 6. I wanted 12, but instead I got 20. I also doubled the topping and was left with at least a cup and a half of extra topping. Your measurements are off! Good thing I'm cooking for a hospice and the muffins will be eaten throughout the day, but for someone on a budget who doesn't like to waste food, this recipe will deceive them! Please adjust.

Dear Anonymous:First, the common etiquette for issues like these is to email me, which is prominently displayed on my blog. But, since you chose a public forum and are "anonymous" I will give you my professional response. Anytime you double a baking recipe, you are taking a chance. The pros will tell you this is not a good idea. The only work around is to make the batter, twice, as I did. Why you ended up with so much leftovers is beyond me. I'm sorry you didn't like the outcome, but I can't please everyone. Therefore, I won't adjust the recipe. If you have any further questions, my email is foodiewife@gmail.com

Dear Rebecca,My email is foodiewife@gmail.comScroll to the end of the post and the recipe card should be visible. I can see them via my iPad, iPhone and using Mozilla and Google Chrome. Explorer 7 might be an issue. If you still can't see it, please email me at the above address.

I don't see any harm in adding diced apples, though I've never tried it. They might be a little crunchy. Sometimes I experiment, so if I were to do so-- I might saute them for a couple of minutes with a little butter and/or boiled apple cider to cook them slightly, then add them to the batter with a slotted spoon.

Welcome!

Welcome to my internet kitchen. Please, sit back and relax, and watch me make delicious food and bakery recipes. Most of my recipes are simple, flavorful meals-- and a few baked treats. I focus on using fresh, seasonal ingredients and I try to avoid using boxed mixes and processed foods. I'm having fun learning how to cook like my grandmother once did-- from scratch! I hope that my step-by-step photos will inspire a timid cook to try them. Even if you're a seasoned cook, hopefully you'll learn a new tip or two.

If you have any questions,or just want to say "hello", please feel free to email me: foodiewife@gmail.com
